Hi

Thanks for reading. Glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately there is not a reduced fare for students. Seniors and the Disabled can claim a reduced fare but this is not extended to Students.

Car ownership is definitely lower than other states. 56% (households) don’t own a car. however this is right up to 77% in Manhattan.

The Average in America is 22% of households not owning a car so as you can see there is a marked difference.

The Subway is indeed safe at pretty much all hours You are never likely to be alone in a deserted station. New York in general is an incredibly safe City. Of course after a few too many drinks I would not advise the subway. But not for safety reasons. It can be fairly challenging for people unfamiliar with the subway to navigate. This will be doubly challenging after a couple and probably impossible after a skinful. I would say its best to get the Subway on your way out but a Taxi Back to the Hotel.

I would definitely suggest trying the subway at other times though its really cheap and not too challenging at all. Its also VERY fast. New York’s Traffic cripples the other forms of transport.

A place where every man wants to visit.
May I know whether it is possible to have some discounts for maybe the subway fares for student?

As I am familiar with UK’s transportation system which allow for student discount, I believe it is the same case in New York.

Random question – with all your explanations, does it means new yorkers rarely own a car?

Thank You

I am planning a trip to New York with a group of people in around a month, and this has been very informative , we love to walk , but i’m sure we will end up in taxis which with the convenience and pricing. Not sure about the underground . You said it was safe but what about late nights after a few drinks
Cheers Paul
